some of those cars on pinks are insanely fast. like the corvette vs the mustang. they ran low 9's the whole time. now id like to see the 7 go after something like that!

they should do a Time Attack style race on one of their episodes

You've obviously been passed over by the Hot Rod fairy. Go rent American Graffiti and tell me again that it matters what kind of car you have.

On the season 2 premiere (I believe it's Feb 16) you'll see a pretty quick Mustang owned by Justin from JPC. We have a saying for Justin - "Burcham on the Bumper" :)

hey dont know if u guys know but the civic crashes :fawk: stupid civic, but still a 10sec car

Who's grey FC is that? It was featured in one of the roommate's ricer mags. The one with "HALTECH" down the side.

Is that the Civic vs Mustand episode? Did they already tell you the premier date for your episode, or are you guessing? I am trying to find out for sure on ours so I can have a grand opening party at a sports bar and get hammered while I relive the ass woopage... :D

Matt's. He is my business partner, and he drove my FC on the show.

yeah what dave said (damn you you keep beating me to it)

that car has been in a few mags and a lot of show and been posted in here a bunch of times

Well it looks sweet :).

here are a couple more for you then

i thought i had more guess not

I don't know if this has been posted yet...but I heard that the Civic won the first race & lost the others cause a ic coupler broke or something like that, or atleast thats what they are saying on honda-tech.com

First race – tony does a 3rd gear burnout, we give them 2 lengths, they bog, we smoke them.

Second race – we “take the bottle out” give them 2 lengths, they bog, tony rips them out of the hole, car slows down at the beginning of the track, the rx7 pulls off the win?

Third race, tony tries to do a 3rd gear burnout, the car can barely spin the tires. He launches, the race is over, RX7 wins

Fourth race, we think the motor is done, I hustle as many lengths as we can, the car is going nowhere. We lose the car.

Torn intercooler coupler is deemed the problem! So even when you think you have your shit together, the simplest and stupidest crap goes and kicks your ass!!

^^^nah....inventing excuses...shit pisses me off..people lose and start inventing shit to other people when they lose . i havent seen it..but if something went wrong during the show it would be shown wouldnt it?oh well ..rotary powah!

^Or you could just ask the man who took the car home...

The intercooler didn't tear any coupling. They just didn't tighten them correctly. Plus when you have to make a car run 28psi of boost to make it quick, shit happens. The car runs run now that we took off the wack ass boost controller and made their "wiring" job better. That is just anger that they lost, period :D

Their car will be on eBay if we don't blow it up first. We are just waiting for the episode to air, then off that thing to someone else to have fun with.

Just for the record, I never did, nor do I think my car runs 9's. I am only running 12lbs of boost still...:D

is the car that won the one that you guys were push starting at RR? the turbo on that thing was the size of a friggin dinner plate.

Do you have a link to that post? I would like to reply to them :D

Yup, my car is basically built out of spare parts laying around the shop. I had $2k into it, so I really didn't care if we won or lost. hahaha

No the thread got closed monday. A user said something stupid about rx7's, I commented, & a mod closed it before a flame war started.

that's awesome. That car was really impressive looking at RR. I really wish you guys could have run the autocross though. THAT would have been cool.
and I loved the shocker decal on the sunroof.

Heres a link to the threads...

http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1496464 That's the one that was quoted in this thread about the races

i like how that sounds

I still think we would have won even if their car had been 100%, but for sure it would have been close. Their boost problem didn't start until the last race, or theywould have asked for time to repair it or look at it, or asked for more car lenghts. They were pretty cool at the track. I would be suprised to see alot of them talking smack. Maybe they are talking about their car with the refference to the 9 sec thing? We did think it was fast because we had heard it went 11.2 the night before, and we haven't even taken ours doen the 1/4 mile yet!

I think it will maek good tv for both shops, and the viewers will like it.

From the reads on the threads you can tell that those guys were pretty cool.
